Pipe



Sept. 25, 1934. P. F. TREMBLAY PIPE Filed Jan. 5, 1954 Patented Sept. 25, 1934 PATENT OFFICE PIPE Patrick F. Tremblay, Lewiston, Maine Application January 5,

3 Claims.

This invention relates to a pipe, the general object of the invention being to provide means for preventing nicotine from reaching the mouth of a smoker by providing chambers in the bottom part of the bowl of the pipe so arranged that the smoke must take a tortuous path in reaching the stem, with filter means in one of the chambers.

This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing and specifically pointed out in the appended claims.

In describing the invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawing wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which:-

Figure 1 is a top plan View of the pipe.

Figure 2 is a bottom plan view, with the removable bottom part removed.

Figure 3 is a section on line 3 3 of Figure 1.

Figure 4 is a section on line 4 4 of Figure l.

In these views, the numeral 1 indicates the bowl of the pipe and the numeral 2 the stem thereof. In carrying out my invention, I providev a horizontal partition 3 in the lower part of the bowl which is associated with a vertical partition 4, said vertical partition dividing the chamber formed by the partition 3 and the bottom of the bowl into the two chambers 5 and 6. The lower part of the partition 4 has an opening 7 therein which places the two chambers 5 and 6 in communication with each other and the stem 2 is in communication with the chamber 6. An opening 8 is formed in the partition 3 for connecting the bowl chamber with the chamber 5 and filtering material 9, such as steel wool, may be placed in the chamber 5, as shown. The bottom part l0 is removable by being provided with a flange which is threaded to the lower end of the bowl, as shown in Figure 3.

Thus it will be seen that the smoke from the burning tobacco must first pass through the opening 8 into the chamber 5 and then flow through the opening 7 into the chamber 6 and then pass upwardly in this chamber 6 to reach the bore of the stem 2 and this tortuous path taken by the smoke will eliminate nicotineor other moisture from the smoke before it reaches the mouth of the user. The filtering material 9 also helps to remove the nicotine and other moisture. By removing the stem 2, the moisture collecting in the lower part of the bowl can be emptied therefrom through the stem opening or, if desired, the cover 10 can be removed to clean the chambers 6 and 5 and to permit the iiltering material to be cleaned or renewed. y

Thus this invention will prevent nicotine and other moisture from entering the mouth of the` user and it also prevents particles of tobacco or 1934, Serial No. 705,411

other foreign matter from entering the stem and it will provide a cool smoke.

It is thought from the foregoing description that the advatages and novel features of the invention will be readily apparent.

It is to be understood that changes may be made in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claims.

What is claimed isz- 1. A pipe of the class described comprising a bowl, a horizontal partition in the lower part of the bowl and spaced from the bottom thereof, a vertical partition extending from the horizontal partition to the bottom of the bowl and dividing the space between said horizontal partition and the bottom of the bowl into two chambers, the lower end of the vertical partition having an opening therein connecting the two chambers together, and said horizontal partition having an opening in its front part connecting the chamber of the bowl with the front chamber, and a stem in communication with the top part of the rear chamber.

2. A pipe of the class described comprising a bowl, a horizontal partition in the lower part of the bowl and spaced from the bottom thereof, a vertical partition extending from the horizontal partition to the bottom of the bowl and dividing the space between said horizontal partitition and the bottom of the bowl into two chambers, the lower end of the vertical partition having an opening therein connecting the two chambers together, and said horizontal partition having an opening in its front part connecting the chamber of the bowl with the front chamber, a stem in communication with the top part of the rear chamber, and a removable bottom for the bowl.

3. A pipe of the class described comprising a bowl having its lower end open, a horizontal partition formed with the bowl and spaced from the lower end thereof, a vertical partition formed with the bowl and the horizontal partition and extending from the middle part of the horizontal partition to the lower end of the bowl and having an elongated notch in its lower edge, the front part of the horizontal partition having an opening therein for communicating the tobacco receiving part of the bowl with the front chamber formed by the horizontal and vertical partitions, said partitions forming a rear chamber which is in communication with the front chamber through the notch, and a stem connected with the bowl and in communication with the upper portion of the rear part of the rear chamber, and a cap closing the lower end of the bowl.
